I think he's served his time, and as long as he shows remorse and a willingness to HELP the community in the future his story can be a good one...in the long run.

It can show people (kids) who have already made bad decisions...that you can get a second chance, that one bad choice is not the end of your life.

While there is no excuse for drunk driving, Im pretty sure none of them intended on killing anyone when they went out that night.</P>

Im pretty sure Vick knew what was going on when he suffocated, electricuited, shot, and killed these dogs by simply picking them up and slaming them into the ground over and over again.

That's exactly how I feel. I actual took what Vick did very personally considering I have a Pit Bull and I love dogs. But over time one must realize we all make mistake some worse then others.. Vick served him time.. so it's time to move on.

Yeah tell me about. Whether people want to admit it or not, race is definitely an issue in this matter. It's hard enough for the black QB in the NFL. They are already demanded to do more as it is. No excuse, but this is part of some people's thinking. And then when one of the high profile ones gets into trouble, does his time, and shows remorse, people still don't want to give him a second chance. Itis pathetic. If Peyton Manning did the same thing, he'd be welcomed back with open arms. Just looking at it from a different angle. And this angle is certainly debatable</P>

Not sure if thats illegal, do you know anyone with alliagtors. I know they belong in the wild and dogs are residential. If one of those trained killers got loose and ate someones kid it wouldnt be funny.

I've never been one to shy away from a sensitive topic, I really just don't see any possible way that it correlates to this situation.

Wanna play it from the otherside? This roony rule is ridiculous imho, and the fact that they are trying to swing it for GM's is a horrible Idea...these teams are privately owned and I'm sorry...I find it VERY hard to believe with the success of Black Coaches in the league over the last few years (tomlin anyone?) that any owner in his right mind would allow a coachs skin color to effect his decision on whats best for his own team.

It's borderline reverse racism.

I know you're not. I've read your posts and respect that you don't back down from your takes. And yes I do think the Rooney rule is stupid also. Most of the owners already know who they want to hire. If I were a minority coach who got interviewed just to cover an owner's ***, I'd be offended because I didn't get a fair shake in the process.

While I completely agree with you, the fact is I work for a Private Company, so what I think only matters as much as the owner cares about it...that's just how the world works...so that Vick had to cut his hair...yeah sorry, but its not as big a travesty to me as some would like it to be.

Oh come on are you guys being serious?

he's famous, that's the reason the medias on him, no other reason.

Black QB's are very successful already. McNabb/Warren Moon/Jason Cambell heck isn't JaMarcus Russell one of the highest paid QB's in the league?

anyone trying to play the race card on this issue is simply mistaken.

DUDE we have a black man as president!

I simply do not understand your current mentality... when is it enough?

people will ALWAYS be racist...its human nature, just as many people hate blacks for no reason, so do foreigners hate Americans for no reason, so do some blacks hate whites for no reason.

it is impossible to COMPLETELY get rid of racism...but I think, at this point, at least in america, its proven that its a VERY SMALL minority that thinks that way.

Dude what does the president being black have nething to do with it.Im saying that in sports, in the national football league that the position of quarter back has been predominately played by the white man since football started, that is not an opinion it is a fact.I dont want to talk about all dat other irrelivant political mumbo jumbo, im am simply stating facts.

i personally do not want him back in the nfl it sets a bad example for the younger generations

I think he's served his time, and as long as he shows remorse and a willingness to HELP the community in the future his story can be a good one...in the long run.

It can show people (kids) who have already made bad decisions...that you can get a second chance, that one bad choice is not the end of your life.
</P>

</P>

Thank you he served his time he paid for his punishment...people need to let it go</P>

</P>

I didnt see anyone complaing about the farmer shooting 100 dogs...</P>

</P>

Yeah tell me about. Whether people want to admit it or not, race is definitely an issue in this matter. It's hard enough for the black QB in the NFL. They are already demanded to do more as it is. No excuse, but this is part of some people's thinking. And then when one of the high profile ones gets into trouble, does his time, and shows remorse, people still don't want to give him a second chance. Itis pathetic. If Peyton Manning did the same thing, he'd be welcomed back with open arms. Just looking at it from a different angle. And this angle is certainly debatable</P>

</P>

everything always has to be about race dosent it....build a bridge and get over it</P>

</P>

if there was even the slightest bite of racism here sharpton would have been all over it like he always is.....part of the reason racism still exist is because every time something dosent go someones way we scream racisim.....if you think for a second if peyton did it he wouldnt have had the same punishment your crazy out of your mind......</P>

</P>

and i think vick should be letback in he lost everything millions and millions and went to jail.....if somebody of low income did this they would not be millions of $s in the hole....he paid his price 3 times over</P>

and whats your point so what they have been mostly white??? 99% of DBs and WRs are black....i dont see your point......maybe they are expected to do more cuz there are so few great black nfl qbs over the years....maybe because its fact that they bust more then boom</P>

It shows that the MAJORITY (since thats what it takes to elect a president) of this country (by an overwhelming margin no less) is NOT racist.

Im saying that in sports, in the national football league that the position of quarter back has been predominately played by the white man since football started, that is not an opinion it is a fact.

I'm not arguing whether HISTORICALLY people in america were racist or not, I'm talking about NOW, you are saying that RIGHT NOW Race has alot to do or something to do with the way Vick is being treated...I'm telling you, besides a small minority of people whom which will NEVER change...you are wrong...overall for america, this has nothing to do with race at all...it's got to do with a famous nfl QB involved with dog fighting period end of story.

I dont want to talk about all dat other irrelivant political mumbo jumbo, im am simply stating facts.

but it's not irrelivant at all, you are talking about the here and now in present day America were, Racism is not a common thing....and I'm using our President as PROOF of that being true.

i think michael vick is a p.o.s. and should still be in jail. that said, now that he's out, you have to let him come back in the league. this is what the guy knows how to do, and you can't prevent him making a living doing something completely legal. as far as the law is concerned, he paid his due.

on the other hand, he has screwed up so many times as far as the league is concerned. flicking off fans, the marijuana at the airport (neither a big deal to me, but shows his stupidity), and then the dog fighting. the way goodell is cracking down on players, it would only seem right for vick to get at least an 8 game suspension if not a 1 year suspension.....the problem i have with that however is that he's been in jail for the past couple seasons which could constitute for a suspension. in this league, careers are very short lived. the guy isn't getting any younger, and his days of being able to compete at an nfl level are numbered. being that he's out of jail, i think he deserves a shot to make some money with whatever is left of his football career. we all know he could use some money after all these legal and financial issues stemming from murdering dogs.

this is just my point of view on the situation as an objective outsider. personally i don't care what happens to the guy. he could get eatin by a shark for all i care, he's a sick f***

lenord little killed a women, dante stallworth killed a man. Both drunk driving. What vick did is not remotely close to what these two did.</p>

While there is no excuse for drunk driving, Im pretty sure none of them intended on killing anyone when they went out that night.</p>

Im pretty sure Vick knew what was going on when he suffocated, electricuited, shot, and killed these dogs by simply picking them up and slaming them into the ground over and over again. Mans best friend? Anyway I wouldnt mind seeing some of those dogs let loose on him, but he served his time, and in our society we give second chances, like it or not the legal system has ran its course.. .</p>

We slaughter cows, pigs and chickens everyday so we can eat and you want to compare human life to animal life?

Seriously?

Vick took responsibility and paid his due. He didn't commit murder of a family member who will be sorely missed by loved ones. He killed some dogs that no one on this board can name.

I love dogs and do not agree with what he did but to compare human life to animal life is the most ridiculous thing to even be typed by someone.

Edit: I was mad when I typed this so sorry, but my point is you want to see harm done to Vick because of the dog fighting ring.

Maybe those guys did't intend to drink and drive but they CHOSE to do it anyway and now unlike Vick they will probably serve less or no jail time then Vick.

Thats ok with you?

I wouldn't doubt that one of those PETA freaks will bejumping out of a vanand spraying Vick in the facewith an Uzi somewhere in the near future......and I think I'd be fine with that. Sorry.......or at least they can electrocute him and remove his teeth.</P>

This is definitely in response to so many posts with people saying how "........it's horrible, but they're dogs, not humans........." Did you guys see the photos of these poor animals? </P>

I consider myself a compassionate person, and I'm sure most of you do as well, but I'm pretty appalled with some of these generalcomments. I'm no fruitcake vegetarian hypocrite hippie or whatever either, but there is absolutely no justification for the atrocities that Vick and his pals were responsible for. </P>

Indeed, everybody deserves a second chance, but I'll be steadfastly rooting against this Michael Vick from here on out.</P>
